Hi crafty friends & bloggers......welcome to my little piece of the web!

I thought it was about time I shared a Halloween card .......the only one I've

made so far this year! I started with my favourite black base then added some

distressed paper layers - Mischievous by My Mind's Eye - next I added

some die cuts & finished with a peel off word sticker (remember them?) on

the banner die cut.....oh, and a couple of black faux gems.

Quick, easy & inspired by one of my cats........sat at the side of a tree in
the back garden.........thankfully the tree's not as scary as this one though!
Thanks for calling & for any comments you might leave....whatever you're

Something for the Weekend!

Morning crafty friends & bloggers, hope you're all well......and welcome to
Something for the Weekend!
Today I have a Christmas card to share.......all pink & gold & shiny.....so
not me lol but I have to say I love it! I started with a base of gold mirri card
then added elements from a Studio Light sheet. Of course, I couldn't stop there
and so I added more gold die cuts & finished with a couple of faux gems.
I'm loving the Studio Light booklets, they offer so much and you can make them
as simple as you like or add to them as much as you like......and there's a
fantastic range too.....booklets for all occasions!
Rightio, that's me for today........off for a wander around the town.
Thanks for calling......see you tomorrow!

Thursday Throwback!

Morning crafty friends & bloggers......hope you're all well.

Welcome to Thursday Throwback......my weekly look back at past crafty makes...

.....do you still like them? Would you change anything or would you rather

not look at all lol?

I have a Halloween wall hanging from 2012 to share today......I loved it when I

 made it & I'm still happy with it today.......although I remember my daughter

telling me it was ok......but she wanted something REAL scary lol!

If you fancy sharing an old make leave me a comment.....I'd love to come 

visit you back.

Thanks for calling....whatever you're up to have a lovely day.

See you tomorrow.

You Are Special

Hi friends, happy Wednesday......Wednesday already! Doesn't time fly

when you're having crafty fun......or even when you're not lol.

Today I have a minimalist card to share......so hard for me to do, I just want to

pile on anything & everything! I am wondering though, should I add the

word 'so' as in 'You are so special' or leave it as it is?

Anyway, more bits from the bit box for this card, so quick & easy and I'm

sure it'll look good in other colour combo's and different sentiments.....I'm loving

the cards with one big word on them at the moment.

Rightio, lots to do today so I'll love you & leave you....thanks for calling.

See you tomorrow.

Robbon and/or Lace with Crafty Cardmakers!

Hi crafty friends & bloggers, happy October 1st! I hope you had a lovely weekend

 and are raring to go for the week ahead! I can't quite believe we're into October

already.....and my grandson is almost 1 year old!

Anyway, enough waffling from me....I'm here today with my Dt make for the

latest challenge over on the Crafty Cardmakers blog where the theme is:

RIBBON and/or LACE

A lovely theme, I think.........I was going to go with girly & feminine but time

ran away with me & I thought I better get a move on with some Halloween makes

so I made the simplest of tags. I used die cut tags, die cut the webs & spiders

from silver mirri.....oh my, were they a pain to stick down lol! I used green

slime coloured ribbon & finished with a faux gem in the centre of the spider.

Would love to see you join us......as usual  any & all makes are welcome, there's

hardly any rules & there's some fabulous Dt work for your inspiration...

......hope to see you there!

Thanks for calling & for any comments you might leave.....see you tomorrow!
